Our Mission:
The mission of Friends of Fayetteville Parks is to aid in the purchase and establishment of new parks, enhance existing parks, create a sense of ownership among residents, and include all the children of Fayetteville in our recreation programs. We work with the City of Fayetteville, its citizens, and our partners to promote a connection to nature, the stewardship and maintenance of our park system, activity, and wellness among our citizens, gathering and placemaking and the development of resilient natural systems.
Our Principles:
Parks go beyond recreation. They have ecological, economic, historic, social, cultural, and public health value.
Parks bring people of all backgrounds into public life, connecting communities to civic assets where trust can be formed.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are the foundations of a healthy park system.
Intentional and equitable park investments to welcome all people to public spaces.
Collaboration and partnerships are essential to bringing parks to life.
Dignity, care, and respect for everyone is intentional and central to all work of the FFP.
